Less than 10 minutes into The Footy Show‘s broadcast from Adelaide last night and the show was already in hot water, with Sam Newman’s genitals on display once again.
Newman, 69, was wheeled on stage in a hospital bed by a scantily-clad, buxom Nurse. When she assisted him in getting out of the bed underneath his hospital gown, Newman’s genitals were quickly flashed.
While it was presumably accidental, it was no accident when he later flashed his backside to the audience. But a key question will be: why it was necessary for a presenter to be without underwear for the skit?
The nurse also played along when Billy Brownless “dropped” a pen on the floor and asked the young woman to pick it up, which attracted plenty of criticism on social media for “respecting women.”
The scenes have already attracted headlines in today’s media, especially given both Newman and the M-rated show have been repeat offenders.
Newman’s genitals were infamously exposed on the show in 2001 when he was “dacked” on air by Shane Crawford.
In 2009 Newman and The Footy Show were put on a 6 month ACMA “watch-list” following Newman’s infamous “mannequin” stunt provoking severe ridicule against sports journalist Caroline Wilson. Amongst his other string of misdemeanours were homophobic comments made earlier this year.
In 2010 Nine gave a 2 year undertaking to ACMA to pay $200,000 to charities if Sam Newman breached the Code of Practice, after he provoked ridicule towards a Malaysian man.
WARNING: Nudity

@MHA – that’s insulting to Neanderthals! They actually had larger brains than us. I think that this is just Homo sapiens TV, and not even at its worst.
Can he be charged with Wilful Exposure for this? Interesting that it has been edited out on catch-up and Sydney late night screening? The program is not my cup of tea or will ever be. Neanderthal TV at its worst.
